[Focus General] Hammouri87:
Hello Focus Owners,

I'm planing to buy a new Samsung Focus Mobile, but i have the below questions & if anyone can reply me to make the decision of buying this phone or not:

1- i will buy it UNLOCKED (SIM), but in case if the mobile re-lock again is there any way to UNLOCK the phone ??

2- I think the phone can accept MANGO update, if i update the phone from NODO to MANGO, will i lose the "SIM UNLOCKING"

3- also i need to know, is there any steps "procedure" like android phone "S-Off, Root, ... etc" to do some special installation or anything special.

finally, i need to ask about the battery life, is it Good or not ??

hope i can find a useful replies from you :)

thank you in advance
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
1. Normally, there's no way you will be able to SIM lock the phone again. If you do, you can buy the unlock code off eBay for 1 USD

2. Flashing, upgrading, downgrading OS and firwmare doesn't affect Network lock (SIM lock)

3. I'm not sure what you mean, but if you want to use homebrew (outside Marketplace) you need developer unlock or Chevron unlock.

4. Battery life is good (for a smartphone) and Focus has the best battery life in Windows Phone range to date. In Mangi I get 6h of 3G talk, about 6-8h of play and about 6-12 hours of normal to heavy usage. On standby I get at least 9 days and with Data connection on (mail sync) 1-2h of play per day and 10 min talk I need to charge the phone every 2 days. However, it's recommended (as with any Li-Ion battery) that you don't let the battery discharge completely and charge as often as possible (read my post here for more info).

Hope this helps.
[Focus General] Hammouri87:
its helps very much,

thank you thank you very very much :o

but i have another 2 questions if you dont mind:

1- is it up-gradable to WP 7.5 MANGO ?? how can i do upgrade if yes

2- also is there any Arabic support for this phone (of course with mango if its up-gradable)

thanks a lot my friend :)
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
You're welcome

1. Yes. All upgrades come through Zune

2. Yes and also there are apps, but I can't be sure of how either are. There were a few threads here on XDA, you can probably search "Arabic support" or "Arabic keyboard". Here is a keyboard app as well.
[Focus General] Hammouri87:
Thanxxxxx

Dear Friend,

u r the best, thanx thanx

this is very helpful for me, & now im sure that i will buy this phone :)
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
You're welcome, glad I could help you.

After a year of using my Focus I can tell you I grew to love it :cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broknindarkagain:
I've tried searching with not too much luck...

I'm wanting to do the battery icon mod (percentage) on my phone. I have a LG MyTouch (E739). It is rooted, but still running the stock rom since there isn't anything available for this phone.

Everything that I'm able to find says that its specific for certain roms. Is a "universal" one available anywhere?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Check market, battery indicator pro... and done... it won't replace the battery, it will show another icon with battery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broknindarkagain:
I know about those ones. What I'm looking for is the percentage circle to replace the standard battery bar
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwbr:
Decompile and modify framework-res.apk with apktool or use the online uot kitchen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broknindarkagain:
Sounds complicated LOL.

Is there walkthroughs available for that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
How do I make my external SD card the default download place? I am using Dolphin Browser and it always saves it to my internal SD card.... any one have this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
I have never really noticed. I just move it to sd card. But that is a good question. I'm gonna dig a bit you got me thinking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jess813:
Figured it out, settings (dolphin) and then change the folder directory for downloads! Duh lol!

Now to figure out the mms directory! As u can see my MMS pictures that I save all go to the internal SD .... suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Ok this is what ya do. Goto settings/data settings. Scroll down and you will see download directory. You can choose anywhere you wish to save anyfile downloaded. This is for Dolphin.;)

Hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

Hmmm. I don't get much mms's I prefer email attach. Mms low res kills. I might be mistaken but I think you cant change mms default location? Someone else wanta chime in here. Lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Keepin' this thread alive for you. I think mine save to the external sd. Let me check and see how I did it and I'll let you know. Worst case though, get handcent and turn off all notifications. Then point it to the external sd and use it to save MMS pictures.

EDIT: Nope, they save to the internal. You'll have to use Handcent or Go SMS to do it. Unless a symlink in place of the download folder on the internal sd will work. Never tried that. I'll play around with it tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Thanks KCR. all out for today but I'll hit ya later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
No problem Cole. Unfortunately though, simply using Root Explorer I can't create a symlink because it's an sdcard and apparently they don't support symlinks. Maybe someone else knows how to create them on an sdcard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
You beat me too it. I can find no workaround either. Yeah symlink is a nogo. Its deeper than I thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
The physical SD card on this phone is in the sdcard folder.

I believe its /mnt/sdcard/external_sdcard

Can you not just set it to there? Its mounted inside the internal as its own directory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Trying to save to the ex sd card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Did you read my post? I am trying to direct them to the external sd card. I was only slightly off going off the top of my head. This is linux/unix the drives are mounted as a directory and can be inside another drives directory.

/sdcard/external_sd/ or /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
You just mean I didnt read the subsequent post then, because I did read the OP and that was the problem. I saw his screen shot but he still had it pointed to the wrong directory which is why I had posted.

As for MMS its not going to be straight forward. Any of the rom architects should be of help for the MMS issue. Yeah I missed the words saying he solved that issue, I had seen that the thread divided into 2 topics though.

I dont need or want any thanks lmao, just hadnt seen anyone mention the directory and missed he solved it himself despite his screen shot being pointed to the former location. If the thanks button is why everyone helps out then something is wrong with the world.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
All is good moto. Thanks for trying ta help though. I think I may have misunderstood your post also. I was not trying to be a ****. And I appreciate your follow up response. You're all right in my book.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
I understand what you're saying however, there's no setting in the stock SMS/MMS app to direct it in such a way. Like you said, it can be done but it's going to require a dev decompiling the .apk and directing it's save directory to mnt/sdcard/external_sd

Far beyond what the average user, even on these boards, is comfortable doing.

I'm thinking it may be a safeguard in Rom Manager preventing the symlink - maybe a shell script would do the trick. As stated before this is linux and you can symlink to another drive on a desktop as far as I know. The system sees an sdcard as just another drive.

So maybe something like this (not the best at scripts):

ln -s /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/downloads /sdcard/downloads

Include that in one of the init.d files and it will execute every time on boot.

Anyone better at scripting please edit this if it's not correct. I don't want to mess anybody up by claiming this will work. Also, what would 'ln -sf' accomplish that 'ln -s' doesn't?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wiseguyy:
It seems im a little behind on browsers but i suppose on the stock browser im sol all together..right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
???? Not sure what you are asking ? Clarify plz.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

Hey thanks for still trying. I don't even think the OP is even interested. He has not posted forever. Lol.

You are all right in my book Kcr. You got my thanks bro.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wiseguyy:
Well it seems that options are remotely available using the Fish browser but i am on the stock one that's came on the phone. I haven't really thought i would receive a dramatic benefit from something else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Taptapdude:
I'm in the downloads directory and I can't seem to locate the external sd. No mnt folder too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supersaeed:
It's not in downloads It's in sdcard
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MissLaniS:
How can I get my phone to install apps directly to the external SD card by default?? Seems everything downloads or installs to my USB storage. Even when I go to the manage apps and click.on the "move to SD card" button, it says it moved it, but it puts it on the USB storage and not on my SD card. So my card is almost empty and my USB storage is almost full. How do I fix this??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimmyh05:
I use to be able to save all my downloads from Dolphin Browser to my EXT SD Card(/storage/sdcard1) with no problem, but a few days ago it started saving to my Internal SD(/storage/sdcard0). I am unable to go further back than /storage/sdcard0 for some reason so i can't change my download directory to the EXT SD Card. The "up arrow" gets grayed out so it won't let me go up anymore. Any ideas?

Also, i have the default storage for my phone set to External SD. (system settings/advanced/storage).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MissLaniS:
I'm talking about like apps that I download from google play store. They all go into my internal USB storage, even when I click move to SD card, still goes into internal. How do I get everything to my external SD card??
[Motorola Photon 4G] kevinyohh:
I'm losing hope about it since all devs are working on Photon. But it shouldn't be impossible since MoPho and Electrify are almost the same thing.

I was thinking about a downgrade to 2.3.4 just to try to unlock bootloader and give a try on CM9, but I haven't found anything about such a thing like that. Please help! Please... :(

Enviado desde mi Motorola Electrify usando Tapatalk
[Motorola Photon 4G] idusortus:
I'm in the same camp. I recently swapped my HTC for the Electrify due to the amazing reviews Electrify received - unfortunately I ended up with 2.3.5 pre-installed.

So far no one has been able to unlock the bootloader on 2.3.5 pre-installs. Can't even SBF back to 2.3.4, unlock, pop to 2.3.5. From what I'm learning about Motorola I'm thinking about begging my local provider to give my HTC back.

One thing you can do is kill all the newly released 2.3.5 motoBloat. I just got around to freezing it all last night and noticed quite an improvement in my performance. I've heard talk about potential class action lawsuits vs. Moto but there is no conclusive evidence thus far that they are actually harvesting personal information. Gotta wonder what they're up to tho... Why prevent a usergroup, that is excited about the phone, from doing what they want with the product. All they end up doing is alienating an active & vocal customer base.
[Motorola Photon 4G] carinlynchin:
so any updates ??? anyone crack that stuff???
[Motorola Photon 4G] AlanVenu:
Well for people who are stuck with 2.3.5!!! you can root your phone and play with it a little until the dev unlock the bootloders... Have kept my fingers crossed till then..
[Motorola Photon 4G] carinlynchin:
how do you "play" with it tho...besides just downloading apps that need rooted phones.....what can I do.??

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
:eek: First I would like to thank nAa for the great work. I wanted to post to the thread for MiniCM7 but i cant. (I a newbie in the forums and a n00b)

Problems:

Had issues with restoring apps. Sound was disabled (actually forced closed) after restoring apps with titanium back up. Fixed by just installing the apps without system settings.

Battery drains. ~5% per hour (haven't calibrated yet, will try later)

As I go to about the thread there are numerous problems with KB lights and WiFi but haven't encountered those. For the camera i will test it as well.

Suggestion/Request:

Can you add a note pad app? (Ill check in market if there is an app for that* [ I'm just using prepaid sim so i don't have the luxury of going online all the time :D])

Regarding Contacts is it possible to make a group?

With Messaging is it also possible to tap into contacts so you can add more contacts easily. (I know there are apps for that but i want my phone to be clean and no conflicts with the existing messaging app)

Again thanks a bunch! And I hope I can reach ten post so i can go to the thread and add more inputs.

*Isn't that an IPhone tag line? :)

OT: Thanks XDA and more power.

OT2: Sorry for my English.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kashem58:
for the keyboard light you can download a Kfix, it fixes the keyboard light, you'l find it on the forums if you search for it

Camera = am still finding the camera to be laggy, and audio goes out of sync

no i dont think you can, i tried but couldnt do it

thats one of the downsides to this ROM, i found that i cant multi select the contacts i wanna send text to, you will have to type each persons name individually and then select them.

i been using nAa ROM and kernel for 1 week now
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
So after a few days of tinkering with my toy. here's what i have.

*battery drains - never got fixed even tried undevolt. have to charge my phone twice a day. calibration seem to have no effect at all.

*KB lights - no issues since first porting

*wifi - little buggy but i just forget the network then log back to the network and it works.

*camera - no trouble just like KB lights

*note pad - i just use my drafts for it no trouble really.

*groups and contacts to messaging - just used go launcher for the mean time
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] luisecp:
Hi

About battery with smart tass v2, it improve my battery. I ussually go to application - debugging. And unmark "ubication paralels"

about Camara try youtube setting in video, it is less buggy.

About keyboard in x10 mini pro go to CYD setting - screen - automatic light screen - edit others levels... in keyboard write 155 135 85 50 0. Test in a dark room

About wifi, I think the problem is hardware always I have the same problem.

about notepad... what?? Use virtualrecord to record your notes is faster I think.

(ssorry about comand my phone is in spanish the translation is bad)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
thanks luisecp for the suggestions.

about my battery i give up on it and just live with it.

as mentioned i have no trouble with my cam and the KB lights

WiFi well i have my fix and that is never to install the settings

is virtual record a voice recorder? i somehow want a visual not a voice one.

thanks again.

Update: I can seem to send or retrieve any mms if i don't enable data traffic which was not the case with the stock version. correct me if I'm wrong but i beleive when you send or retrieve mms the data is automatically enable and disabled after sending or retrieving.

I have 2.16 and NaA08 in my mini. Can I flash 2.1.8 NaA10 without flash the previous(2.1.7/naa09)?Need to flash new gapps?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] moszkito:
Yes you can, kernel does not depend on the previous versions, when you flash a kernel it completely overwrites the previous version.

I've just flashed yesterday from miniCM7.2.17 nAa08 to miniCM7.2.18 nAa10.

I've found that minicm7.2.17 with nAa10 is a bit buggy and slow, so i guess if you flash the new kernel you should flash the new minicm7 as well.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JocPro:
Yes, i think you have to re-flash gapps. I had to in the past, when upgrading.
